Hi Kelly.
the only way I would imagine that you could tell if you are in the
header or footer is by accessing the Common Object modle or MSAA.
Other words, it would be a scripting problem.

Hi All,
I wonder if anyone else has noticed what seems to be a quirk when
dealing
with headers and footers in Word 97. According to the online help and
manuals I've consulted, one is suppoed to turn on headers and footers
from
the View menu and then type the appropriate text. When you turn this
feature on a new toolbar appears which you can access by pressing Alt
and
then control-tab until you reach it.
The online help indicates that you are supposed to click the switch
header
and footer button to switch between typing in a page header and
footer. By
default you are typing in the header.
However the button you must use speaks itself as show header slash
footer.
It can either be pressed or not and JFW does accurately relay this
status.
I suppose my reasons for mentioning this are two:
1. Unless you know you are in the header by default I couldn't find an
easy
way to determine whether you were typing a header or a footer. You
can
press Alt and control-tab and check the style Word is using if nothing
else.
2. For those who don't know, when this button reports itself as being
pressed you are typing a footer.
Kelly
